try this link

http://tools.assembla.com/chdk/changeset/339/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

i couldnt open your link at first, then i manually browsed to trac and saw that you didnt escape some chars in the url

@whim

Your application is great! I applaud you.
I also thought to do like that, but via on-line service (like a web-page, where you selects camera/version/revision and after 5 seconds get firmware compiled). But I need a true server for that (now I'm using a machine from a localnet, which just works 24/7).
BTW. Does your program automatically determine available cameras to compile depending on revision? Or it is needed to modify its sources.

BTW2. I have no problem with the wget to get your url (after replacing the '/' with '.' in 'tools/assembla'). Just typed url in quotes:
wget "http://tools/assembla.com/chdk/changeset/338/trunk?oldpath=/&format=zip"

@all

Well, here it is... I've got to stop tinkering for a bit, or I'll OD on coffee

@GrAnd, PhyrePhox: thanks for the tips on wget, I'm sure it must have some weird typo.

@GrAnd Program reads the Makefile and extracts info from that to present it's selection. It doesn't autocompile (yet)
             but I'm looking into it ...

Edit: updated to 1.01

edit2: removed due to newer version, see later post

@whim

Heh... Your program does not like large fonts in Windows (see screenshot attached).

BTW. Is it possible to skip gcc-building-environment installation stage if I have it already installed?

[whim]

@GrAnd

I was already afraid of international font problems - maybe I should just skip the Win 9x support and do Unicode versions
only. I'll post one so we can see if that makes a difference...

Here's a zHare with 1) ANSI 2) UTF-8 and 3) UTF-16 aka UCS-2 Little Endian:

I think it will also be a good idea to maximize the space I'm allowing the fonts, I'm working on that now.
Please note that I just know that the compiler can do it, I know very little about Unicode itself

What the "international font problems' do you mean? I'm not a Chinese...
I do not use any special fonts in the OS. Just those, which were installed by Windows. No Cyrillic letters used in the path. The version of my WindowsXP is English. I just increased the DPI settings for my fonts:

[whim]

@GrAnd

That's pretty funny, I seem to not even have seen in your pic that it was English !!!
Maybe I should install larger fonts myself    ....or maybe I should blame too
many hours behind the screen. But that's cool, now all I have to do is make it resizable ...

Have tried. All three programs look identical.

[whim]

@GrAnd

Resizable main Window, maybe that helps ....

@whim
O, that's better... But the logo is not moved if window is resized.

[whim]

@GrAnd

Noticed that too. Hard for me to test 135% fonts though, only have a 1440x900 to work with here.
Now looking into the logo problem (it's because it's using a transparant child window)

wim

BTW Thanks for moving to new topic

Barney, I do not think that 135% fonts are too large for 1920x1200 resolution.

acseven, let's help GrAnd, set the forum font to this size.

I do not need this. I always have the option to press 'Ctrl'-'+' combination.
